Regular readers know Rasmussen is not my favorite pollster, not by a long shot. It's a Republican firm with results that often lean to the right, That said, this is interesting:
With Republicans engaged in a bitter primary fight, Democratic Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin has a lead over all her potential GOP rivals in Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race.
Additionally, the new poll finds Americans opposed to their own state adopting a deficit-reduction proposal, like the one that has triggered a legislative standoff in Wisconsin, that eliminates some of the collective bargaining rights of most public unions, including the teachers' union. One-third of Americans say they would favor such a bill in their own state, while 61% would oppose it.
Our friends at Rasmussen Reports, the Republican firm that seems to use its polls to help its GOP friends rather than sampling public opinion, is back with a national poll that says people back Scott Walker in his dispute with public employee unions here by a 48-38 margin.
Why, you might ask, didn't Rasmussen ask the people of Wisconsin, who might have a better idea of what the issue is and what's happening? Most likely because that would not have produced the results they wanted. They are, after all, in the business of helping the GOP.
And another poll last week found people here siding with the unions.
Besides using a nat
And it's not even me saying it, for a change. Nate Silver, the pollling guru, compares the pollsters' performance, and Rasmussen comes out on the bottom.
After months of trashing the Rasmussen Reports polls, what a surprise to find that they look pretty credible compared with the latest one from the University of Wisconsin survey center.
Judging from those numbers, pretty much all of the campaigning anyone has done up until now has been a waste of time and money. Three and a half months before the general election, they say, no one knows who's running, and if they do know they don't care.
A dozen previous polls in the governor's race, summarized on Pollster.com, have had Democrat Tom Barrett somewhere between 34 and 46 per cent of the vote, with Republicans Scott Walker and Mark Neumann in a range between 34 and 49. (One from St. Norbert College had Barrett lower, but it's an outlier -- or it was until the UW effort came along.)
The UW poll would have us believe that Barrett has 15 per cent of the vote, while 32 per cent say they'd vote for a Republican (no one asked them which one.)
In the Senate race, they say Russ Feingold leads Ron Johnson 25-19.
Rasmussen Reports feels obliged to defend its honor, after it is pointed out that not only are Rasmussen polls reliably slanted Republican, but RR's chief is hanging out on a National Review cruise.
The response from a Rasmussen flak is pretty generic:
"Republican and Democratic campaigns both sometimes attack the messenger when they try to distract attention from news they don't like," Rasmussen spokeswoman Debra Falk wrote in an e-mail. "In the case of the Wisconsin Senate race, virtually every poll has shown (U.S. Sen. Russ) Feingold below 50% against every potential Republican challenger. That's a sure sign of a potentially vulnerable candidate. However, incumbents are often able to overcome a weak environment and win re-election."
Of course, what people have questioned is not the fact that Feingold is under 50%, which is not unusual, but that Rasmussen says he's even with Ron Johnson, the unknown Republican. Ms. Falk (no relation to the Dane County exec) doesn't address that.
As for the cruise, she says her boss is just one popular guy who gets invited and paid
Another day, another Rasmussen poll, this one in the gov's race. Sigh.
It's a full time job reminding people that Ras is a Repub polling firm which is notorious for doing polls, especially early in a race, which usually shows Rs doing much better than they do in any independent polls. And they're famous for fixing things to reflect more real numbers as the election gets closer, when there will be something to compare their numbers to.
Here's one explanation: Garbage in, garbage out.
More on our friends at Rasmussen Reports, which we've been saying for some time should not be regarded as anything but a Republican PR firm using its phony polling as spin: This from kos, the man himself at DailyKos, who notes that Rasmussen has done some creative, "corrective" polling reports in Connecticut and Massachusetts recently, after independent polls showed Rasmussen way off base (guess in which direction):
Remember, Rasmussen has two modes -- the narrative setting mode, which he's used to great effect this year to fuel the "Democrats are doomed" narrative, and the "get it right" mode he uses the closer we get to the actual election. Well, we're not that close to November yet, but apparently he felt threatened by having such massive outliers vis a vis other pollsters. So he rushed new polling more in line with the composite polling trendlines. It's kind of hard to set narratives when you become a laughing stock in the political world.
It's kind of hard to set narratives when you become a laughing stock in the political world.
Read it here.
Maybe it will soon be time to stop beating this horse, but let's make sure it's really dead first.
We already dissed the latest Rasmussen Senate poll yesterday, but this comes from a more authoritative source, Nate Silver at 538. He's the guy who almost perfectly predicted the last presidential race in every state. Silver says:
Rasmussen released a poll suggesting that Ron Johnson, a businessman from Oshkosh, is running just 2 points behind Democratic incumbent Russ Feingold in Wisconsin's Senate race. Have you ever heard of Ron Johnson? I hadn't until about three days ago. And it seems unlikely that many voters in the Badger State would have heard about him either. Johnson didn't announce his candidacy until two weeks ago. He's never held political office before. He runs a small business called Pacur Inc that has only 73 employees. He doesn't have a campaign website up. He doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

He doesn't have a campaign website up. He doesn't have a Wikipedia page.
Great news for Ron Johnson: No one's ever heard of him, he has only been a candidate for about a week, he hasn't spent a nickel on TV, and he's tied with Russ Feingold in the US Senate race.
If you believe that, see me about a deal on some hot Gulf Coast real estate.
Yes, our friends at Rasmussen Reports are back with another Republican-slanted poll. [UPDATE: The governor's race numbers are good for Republican Scott Walker, too. Who would have expected it? From Rasmussen, everyone.]
We've noted several times in the past how Republicans always seem to fare better in Rasmusssen's polls than in others -- quite a coincidence since they are a Republican firm that doesn't say who's paying for the frequent polls they keep releasing.
Their latest poll says Ron Johnson, a guy who's never been in politics or in the public eye, has 67% name recognition after campaigning for one week, without ever buying any television time.
Rasmussen Reports, which has been peddling some very suspect numbers about Wisconsin political races in recent months, has a new Wisconsin poll (paid for by who knows whom.)
What's been remarkable about Rasmussen polls is the high name recognition of two Republican Senate candidates that no one has heard of in real life -- not to mention the fact that it shows Tommy Thompson, who's not even running, beating Russ Feingold.
The pollsters tried to defend themselves, but their latest set of numbers takes a new tack.
The two Repubs, David Westlake and Terrence Wall, both are less well known now than they were a month ago, they say. But their favorable-unfavorable numbers are still greatly inflated.
Now, Rassmussen says those numbers don't count:
Feingold is viewed very favorably by 34% of Wisconsin voters and very unfavorably by 31%. Twenty-one percent (21%) view Thompson very favorably, while 17% view him very unfavorably. Fewer than 10% of Wisconsin voters share strong opinions of either of the two announced GOP candidates. Thirty-three percent (33%) have no opinion of Wall, while 40% feel the same about Westlake. At this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with a strong opinion more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.

Weasel words.
By the way, Rasmussen says the Thompson-Feingold matchup is a dead heat, 47-45. It seems like just last week that Wisconsin's Phony Research Institute released a poll showing Tommy up by 12.

This plant was sold to me like echinocereus. Somebody knows it? Thanks César |

looks like an etiolated mammilaria to me |
Hmmm, yes, I searched through cactaceae.net and could not find any Echinocereus plants that looked like the one you have. The distinct lack or ribs means it does not look like one to me. Maybe it is as GL says? |
- Posted by cactus_dude Albuquerque (My Page) on Fri, Oct 28, 05 at 15:54
I think it's probably a mamm too, but I don't think it looks etiolated at all. cd |

I agree that the plant looks very tubercular and lacks prominent ribs, but I think that's just because its still a baby. Look at the newest growth, the ribs are developing and it is not at all mamm-like. I can believe it is a baby Echinocereus but can't offer a species. |
- Posted by cactuspolecat Tasmania Aust (My Page) on Fri, Oct 28, 05 at 18:30
Hey Cesar, it has the spine colour of my Echinocereus laui, but at even at a young age this has didtinct ribs. I must say though, that it looks very "Mammillific!", spine colours are reminiscent of M. fraileana, but that has hooked spines, or even M. viperina. It'd be interesting to see what it's like after growing in some full light for a while. CP |
Hola: Thanks by your opinions. I only can say that etiolated not is.It receives light sifted of the sun. César |

Hello, I'm David and in this instructable I'll show how I made this hexapod whose name is Hexdrake.
Since I was 16 I became interested in electronic and later in robotics. After getting some level and programming skills using arduino I decided to build a robot something more interesting than a simple robot with two wheels . I liked the idea of having a hexapod but did not have much money to buy one.
So I built a low cost 2DOF hexapod made with hand-cut wood and Sg90 servos.
Step 1: Parts needed

- Body and jaw:
- 2 x 3mm wooden planks.
- Sheet of aluminium, and a heatsink from an old car radio.

That is crazy ! I love it ...amazing work !
I'm shaking my head ....excellent !
What kind of wooden board was used? It looks like particle board but it is difficult to tell.
first EPIC! 2ed can it be trend into a defends bot / small alltetran velical ? ( sorry for spelling ) ?
I feel this instructable really captures the ethos of this site. You managed to put together this really intricate machine with hand-cut wood, no need for 3-d printing or cnc cutters, just good old DIY'ing. Not to say those are bad, because they are awesome, just the spirit of those on the cheap builds really moves me. You really deserve this, I was rooting for you from the beginning, and am so glad you won. Keep on building! You Rock!
Thanks you. I had not thought about adding a camera but I think it would be a bit tricky due to the small size and limited space of the hexapod haha.
Y Español!! Orgullo patrio. Si señor. Good job. Amazing project. Very nice finish. I wish I had more free time to build this. And you also invested time in a pretty nice storage box, awesome!!
Congrats on the HackADay.com write up. Good work on your hexapod. I might have to fire up my scollsaw and build this thing.
Congrats on the HackADay.com write up. Good work on your hexapod. I might have to fire up my scollsaw and build this thing. You wouldn't happen to be adding a third dimention to these legs are you. I think maybe a standard size servo would be able to handle the up and down movement of these legs.
Hello excellent job of hexapod, be so kind as to send hexapod design to my email. email@example.com, thank you very much .. the greetings.
Dude, good work on doing all this by hand ie No laser cutting or CNC'ing, The red edging on the black legs instantly drew me to this. Awesome work!
Hello are in steep 7, but I leave here the links ....
I like to see somebody not using a CNC machine and taking pleasure in their work!! Well done!!
Fantastic project. Any chance that you could post the actual autocad file as I would like to cut the parts on my cnc router. Thank you.
The CAD file is only for reference. The parts are not drawn with the real measurements of the paper patterns, that are the originals.
This is an excellent project. Would you mind posting the CAD files for those with LASER cutters? I would like to build several with my engineering class.
The CAD file is only for reference. The parts are not drawn with the real measurements of the paper patterns, that are the originals.
amazing!!! this robot is just the greatest. I triple voted for you.
I love the fact that you used only 9g servos that really is quite remarkable
please consider posting this robot on letsmakerobots.
Respect David, great job.
Recycling to make the storage and work box, more respect! :-)

Possible changes proposed to PSU sanctions
Senator overseeing compliance makes recommendations
By: Marc Stempka
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Some changes could be proposed to the sanctions imposed upon Penn State University in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, officials announced Friday morning.
Sen. George Mitchell said during an address to the Penn State Board of Trustees that hes suggesting the National Collegiate Athletic Association lift some more of the sanctions.
Mitchell, who is being paid by the NCAA to oversee PSUs compliance with the sanctions, told the board that he continues to work with the NCAA and the Big Ten Athletic Conference to develop a multi-layer approach to possibly ending more sanctions.
Mitchell would not indicate what other sanctions would be considered for repeal.
Mitchell said Penn State has implemented just about all of the recommendations outlined by the NCAA and in the Freeh Report, the report compiled by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and his staff and adopted by the trustees that identified recommended changes for the school to make in wake of the scandal.
In September, officials announced the restoration of several football scholarships to the PSU football team over the next several years. Those scholarships were stripped from PSU by the NCAA as part of the sanctions.
Other sanctions given to the school included a $60 million fine, the forfeiture of hundreds of football victories and a four-year bowl ban.
Mitchell said hes aware that other major universities in the country who are facing sanctions are monitoring what is happening at PSU as a model of how they will respond to the sanctions.

Flory's talk looked to show how consistent business and creative structures helped to foster a discernable style in Motown's most popular music during the mid-1960s. The discussion continued with an analysis of the ways in which a single production team worked to create distinct sonic and textual identities for two very different groups, the Supremes and the Four Tops.

Newman Presents at Northeastern and Harvard University
Louis Newman, John M. and Elizabeth W. Musser Professor of Religious Studies, recently gave two invited lectures at Northeastern University and the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University. The first talk, "Brave New World: Judaism and Genetic Technology," focused on the issue of genetic engineering. The lecture explored how Jewish values deal with the obligation to heal versus the obligation to not remake God's work and offered listeners different ways to analyze Jewish values to find a balanced approach to these controversial issues.
The second lecture was titled, "To Forgive is Human: Reflections on the Meaning and Practice of Forgiveness in Judaism." The discussion considered the Jewish thought surrounding forgiveness, specifically the contrasting ideas of conditional forgiveness and unconditional forgiveness. Newman analyzed the theological roots of the two moral views, and ended with the possibility that the two may be complimentary, rather than contradictory.

Estill Speaks at the Biennial U.S. Latina/o Literary Theory and Criticism Conference
Adriana Estill, associate professor of American Studies and English, delivered a paper entitled, "'A prettier white': The Role of Beauty in Who Would Have Thought It" at the 1st Biennial U.S. Latina/o Literary Theory and Criticism Conference in New York. The conference hosted a range of literary critics and theorists to discuss how U.S. Latina/o literary scholarship offers new dimensions to the study of "American" literature.
Estill's talk focused on Maria Amparo Ruiz's 19th century novel, Who Would Have Thought It, which told the story of a young Mexican girl named Lola. The story raises a number of questions about the ways in which Hispanic women were seen in the 19th century and how their beauty was judged. Estill argues that the meanings of race are unstable, and that beauty also embodies an unstable set of categories. Together, the two become an important site of political and moral meaning and knowledge.

Tula (Curaçao)
Tula (executed October 3, 1795) was a Curaçaoan slave who liberated himself and led a 1795 slave revolt that convulsed the island for more than a month. He is revered on Curaçao today as a fighter for human rights and independence.
The revolt[edit]
Bandabou had between 4,000 and 5,000 inhabitants in 1795, mostly enslaved. Tula had been preparing the insurrection for some weeks. On the morning of August 17, 1795, at the Knip plantation of slave master Caspar Lodewijk van Uytrecht at Bandabou, Curaçao, Tula led an uprising of 40 to 50 people. The enslaved met on the square of the plantation and informed van Uytrecht they would no longer be his slaves. He told them to present their complaints to the lieutenant governor at Fort Amsterdam. They left and went from Knip to Lagun, where they freed 22 slaves from jail.
From Lagun, the liberators went to the sugar plantation of Saint Kruis, where they were joined by more rebels under Bastian Karpata. Tula then led the liberated people from farm to farm, freeing more people.
The slave owners had now retreated to the city, leaving their plantations unprotected. At the same time, a confederate French slave, Louis Mercier, led another group of freed slaves to Saint Kruis, where he took the commandant, van der Grijp, and ten of his mixed race soldiers as prisoners. Mercier also attacked Knip, where he freed more slaves and took some weapons. He then rejoined Tula, locating him by following the trail of destruction Tula had left behind.
The Response[edit]
Van Uytrecht in the meantime had sent his son on horseback with a note to the governor, and at 7 p.m., the council met to prepare a defense of the colony. Governor Johannes de Veer ordered Commander Wierts of the navy ship Medea, which was in port at the time, to defend Fort Amsterdam. Sixty-seven men, both white and black, under the command of Lieutenant R.G. Plegher were sent against the rebels. They went by boat to Boca San Michiel from Willemstad, and from there on foot to Portomari, where Tula and his followers were camping. When the Dutch military arrived there on August 19, they attacked Tula's group, but were defeated.
At the plantation of Fontein, Pedro Wakao killed the Dutch slaver, Sabel, who became the first white victim of the rebellion. Wakao also found more weapons at Fontein.
The governor was notified of Plegher's defeat, and the rebellion was now considered a serious threat to the white community. The governor and the slavers had raised a force of 60 well-armed horsemen under the command of Captain Baron van Westerholt to renew the attack. Westerholt had orders to offer leniency to the rebels if they would surrender. Among this party was Jacobus Schink, a Franciscan priest who served as negotiator and attempted to prevent bloodshed.
Tula was aware of the revolution that had resulted in freedom for the enslaved in Haiti. Tula argued that, since the Netherlands were now captured by the French, they should get their freedom as well. The three demands of Tula were: an end to collective punishment, an end to labor on Sunday, and the freedom to buy clothes and goods from others than their own masters. There were two attempts at negotiating with the enslaved. The first one carried out by Father Schink. When Father Schink spoke with Tula, he refused to accept anything less than freedom. Schink reported back to Baron Westerholt, the latter decided to get more reinforcements and attack. He attempted a last negotiation, but when he was turned down by the rebels, he ordered that any slave with a weapon be shot. In the ensuing fight, the rebels were defeated. Ten to twenty of them were killed, and the rest escaped.
The Consequences[edit]
The rebels began a guerrilla campaign, poisoning wells and stealing food. On September 19, Tula and Karpata were betrayed by a slave. They were taken prisoner, and the war was effectively over. (Louis Mercier had already been caught at Knip.) After Tula was captured, he was publicly tortured to death on October 3, 1795, almost seven weeks after the revolt began. From the start of the revolt to the day he died Tula lived as a free man. Karpata, Louis Mercier and Pedro Wakao were also executed. In addition, many slaves had been massacred in the earlier repression. After the revolt had been crushed the white Curaçao government formulated rules that provided some the rights to slaves on the island.
At the height of the insurrection, there were probably 1,000 rebels. August 17 is celebrated in Curaçao to commemorate the beginning of the liberation struggle. When the race based system of slavery was finally abolished on the island in 1863, there were fewer than 7,000 slaves. There is a monument to Tula and the rebels on the south coast of Curaçao, near the Holiday Beach Hotel. This is the site where Tula was executed.

24 Things We Learned From the 'Frankenstein' (1931) Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! For 81 years, those words have surely been said from at least one person to another every year around Halloween time, and for good reason. Not only is Frankenstein arguably the best of the Universal monsters from the 1930s, the monster at the film's center has become a pivotal image for October 31st. So, to round our horror slate of commentaries, we're diving into the classic original, our oldest film covered to date. Naturally, this means we aren't listening to any of the cast or crew from the film (although we get some quotations from director James Whale). Since the first commentary track came out in 1984 – King Kong Criterion Collection, which will be covered at some point here – films from days of old have to settle for film historians to talk shop while they play out. That's not to say there aren't invaluable bits of information found here, but expect lots of film theory and LOTS of snobbery. Who knows? Maybe Rudy Behlmer, who is featured here, likes to check his brain at the door with the rest of us. Checking brains at the door. Frankenstein's monster. There's a joke in there somewhere, but probably not a very funny one. Let's get the commentary started, shall we?
7 Directors Who Got Their Start in Science Fiction
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 7, 2012 | Comments (5)Science fiction has long been considered by some experts to be a lesser genre than traditional dramas and character studies. Because it lends itself so easily to exploitation, science fiction isn't always given the respect it deserves. Sure, it tends to be a box office winner, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the all-time domestic grossing films fit easily in that genre (with at least two more – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Shrek 2 – marginally related as genre films). Still, some still consider science fiction something not to be taken seriously. It is for this reason that "legitimate" film directors might shy away from science fiction in lieu of more important or significant projects. However, many directors got their start or their earliest fame from working in science fiction and other allegedly exploitative and pulp genres. This week's release of Prometheus reminds us that even though Ridley Scott has directed historical epics (Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven), military action films (Black Hawk Down), crime thrillers (American Gangster) and straight dramas (Thelma & Louise), he got his start in science fiction with Alien and Blade Runner. Scott isn't the only director to begin a successful career in science fiction. Here are seven other directors who started out or received some of their earliest success in this genre.
Throughout history the film industry has shown its support for civil rights and equality for all. Why don't they show the same level respect for their own product?

So much is based on myth and legends. Many myths and legends have proven to be true such as the city of Troy. Much of our distant ancestry is based on best guess scenarios. Noah was an actual historical figure. Not just mentioned in the Christian Bible but in numerous other texts. Stories of great floods have been told in just about every culture in the world! Many of them are similar if not nearly exact as the Hebrew version. Is it possible a great floor nearly destroyed all of mankind many thousands of years ago and only left pockets of humans to tell the story and carry it with them as they roamed the earth? I don't know but I do not know enough to dismiss the possibility. Again the City of Troy is a prime example of stories told, turned myth then later discoveries proved it to be real! |

Around 53% of the world belives that these people are real, and its been proven at least some of the later people actually existed. Perhaps you have a case for removing God since has no blood relation to Adam but just because you don't belive them all to be real doesn't mean you can force someone to delte it. All you have to do is not go on the page and never mention you have a connection to any of them. |

I agree that geni isn't really the place to be arguing over religion. Once again it's as simple as just choosing not to add them to your family tree. This is also not the only mythological people that you can find on geni. For instance it says I'm distantly related to the Fisher King from the king Arthur stories. I'm sure there are several other examples. If someone else believes certain of these mythological people are factual or perhaps just doing it for fun, others shouldn't force them to delete them just because they disagree. |

Roundup: Masters makes changes in qualifyingTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 11,2013AUGUSTA, Ga. The Masters found a way to keep its field small while bringing in more PGA Tour winners.
The PGA Tour is going to a wraparound schedule that starts in October, meaning the six events held in the fall will be part of the FedEx Cup season. Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said Wednesday the winners of those fall events will qualify for the Masters.
The only tour events that dont include a Masters invitation are those held opposite majors or World Golf Championships the Puerto Rico Open in March, the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi and the Reno-Tahoe Open.
All of us take great pride and pleasure in seeing a tournament winner beam with pride and excitement knowing that his victory had earned him an invitation to the Masters, Payne said.
To allow room for more winners, however, the Masters is making its first changes to the qualifications since 2007.
Only the top 12 and ties from the previous Masters will be eligible to return, down from the top 16 and ties. The top eight and ties from the U.S. Open used to be eligible for the Masters. That number will shrink to the top four and ties, same as the British Open and PGA Championship.
In the biggest change, the Masters will no longer include the top 30 from the PGA Tour money list.
The Masters since 2007 has invited the 30 players who reach the FedEx Cup finale at the Tour Championship, and that will remain.
Payne announced one other change effective this year the cut will increase from the top 44 to the top 50, including the 10-shot rule.
The changes to the criteria are to keep the field at Augusta National the smallest among majors. There were 94 eligible players this year including Darren Clarke, who was forced to withdraw with a hamstring injury compared with 156 players at the other three majors.
The largest field in Masters history was 109 players in 1962, and the tournament has not had more than 100 players since 1966. There were 99 players in 2011.
Sox activate Drew, put
Lackey on DL
BOSTON The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander John Lackey on the 15-day disabled list and activated shortstop Stephen Drew.
In another move Wednesday, they called up right-hander Alex Wilson from Pawtucket. On Tuesday, they optioned shortstop Jose Iglesias to the Triple-A team.
Lackey strained his right biceps against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday in his first start since major elbow surgery sidelined him all last season.
Iglesias hit .450 in six games for Boston this season. Wilson was 1-0 with a 10.12 ERA in two relief appearances for Pawtucket.
Yanks Jeter resumes
on-field hitting
TAMPA, Fla. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has resumed on-field hitting after being shut down last month by left ankle soreness.
Jeter took 32 swings in batting practice Wednesday at the Yankees minor league complex. The 38-year-old superstar also ran for the second consecutive day.
The Yankees captain hasnt played since appearing in a minor league spring training game as a designated hitter on March 23, when the ankle he broke in Game 1 of the ALCS last October bothered him while running.
While not going at full speed, Jeter looked smooth going three times from first to third and three times from third to first on the grass just behind the infield dirt. The 13-time All-Star also fielded 45 grounders at short, and threw to first base for the first time.MORE IN Wire SportsBURLINGTON-Evan Singletary drained a fade-away 3-pointer with 1.

What is the Summer Food Service Program?
During the school year there are 2.8 million Texas students on the free or reduced lunch program, which provides breakfast and lunch five days a week. These students often go without consistent meals on the weekends and holidays. The summer break is a particularly difficult time for such students when those meals are no longer provided. This lack of access to adequate nutrition has been linked to poorer academic performance, which can easily perpetuate the vicious cycle of poverty.
Fortunately, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) enables organizations active in low-income communities to offer free meals to children who might otherwise go hungry during the summer break.
What are Summer Associates?
Summer Associates are AmeriCorps VISTAs serving a summer term with the Texas Hunger Initiative working to build the capacity of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Associates will work under the Texas Hunger Initiative's Child Hunger Outreach Specialists. Daily activities include creating strategic SFSP plans, designing outreach materials, developing nutrition education materials and supporting local SFSP sites.
What are the dates for the program?
10-week program: May 27-August 4
8-week program: June 10-August 4

BUYINS.NET: Market Maker Surveillance Report. TELK, LNDC, CSUN, LDK, YGE, VRNG, Winning Stocks With Lowest Price Friction For Thursday, January 3rd 2013
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Thursday there were 4005 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2804 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2544 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Thursday and low price friction (bullish). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. Telik Inc (NASDAQ:TELK), Landec Corp (NASDAQ:LNDC), China Sunergy Co Ltd (NASDAQ:CSUN), LDK Solar Co Ltd (NYSE:LDK), Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd (NYSE:YGE), Vringo Inc (AMEX:VRNG). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit
Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction TELK $0.240 17.54% 137,872 58.70% 95,093 40.49% 42,779 1,782 LNDC $1.540 15.68% 456,991 48.95% 446,009 47.78% 10,982 71 CSUN $0.250 16.78% 134,633 65.86% 67,144 32.84% 67,489 2,700 LDK $0.370 23.42% 3,271,025 36.06% 2,826,214 31.16% 444,811 12,022 YGE $0.400 16.19% 2,808,375 36.43% 2,713,846 35.20% 94,529 2,363 VRNG $0.600 20.55% 4,255,334 42.47% 3,506,761 35.00% 748,573 12,476 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and low price friction in their stocks. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.
For example, the chart above shows TELK with a dollar gain Thursday of $0.24000 and a Friction Factor of 1,782 shares. That means that it only took 1,782 more shares of buying than selling to move TELK higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.

Anybody has experience with tropical fruit trees shipped to you barerooted?
I am trying to buy several 3 gallon mango trees and lychee trees from a nursery in FL and have them shipped to CA. The nursery told me they ship their trees barerooted and wrapped in sphagnum moss. I am very worried that the trees will have a hard time surviving the transit and even if they make it, they will have difficulty to flourish once I plant them out. Anybody has positive or negative experience with such situations? Any input will be appreciated. Michael |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mango trees are pretty tough and should handle the bare rooting fine. Just remember to take proper care of the trees once you get them. I've included a link with some good tips on the proper care for a bare rooted mango tree. I think the lychee trees are a bit less hardy but with the proper care, they too should be fine. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bare root mangos
Now is a pretty good time of the year to do it. I think closer to the spring may be a little better but I would bet they will be fine either way. |
- Posted by tropicdude (My Page) on Fri, Jan 6, 12 at 1:30
I just recently bare rooted a few mango trees, last month. compared to how a nursery prepares them, you could say I butchered my trees, I had to fit them in a cardboard poster tube, so i -- My technique is not what most would do, its risky, but I can say it worked out great for me. every single one I brought over this way, has pushed out new growth, even a couple of small seedling trees, which I had my doubts about, because they were so small. As murahilin mentioned Mango trees are pretty tough. |
High Michael, As long as the nursery your buying from doesn't have a name that starts with "Top", you should be fine. Good luck! |
Sheehan included a good link there. Lots of discussion concerning this. As you will see...there was quite a bit of confusion going on there towards the end with one of the members. Bottom line is humidity humidity humidity. Do whatever you can to boost it around your plant. That is the only way they will be able to intake any moisture until the roots start picking up. Water them good then be very careful when you water again and how much. Keep in mind that the roots will not be taking in any moisture at this point so you don't want to keep throwing too much water at them. Good luck and keep us posted. I'm going to assume you are getting your plants from Pine Island. I'm sure they will do a good job on the packing and shipping. |
Hi there! My bareroot mahachanok tree came out of it just fine. Was shipped with leaves, but they soon fell off after transplanting. It was normal for barerooted plants to be "shocked". They have since flushed with new vegetative growth. The seller, bkinterfruit from ebay included a big transparent plastic bag to wrap around the tree to keep in moiusture. He advised to keep the plant moist but be wary about overwatering as this may cause roots to rot. Be mindful of the underpot pans that keep water at the base. These, he said contribute to root rot specially for barerooted plants that are not yet at the peak of health. Finally, he advised me to use a root starting hormone solution with vit b1 everytime I water the plant. It's something you mix with the water. Brand is Hormex. I'd be very glad to know which nursery that ships bareroot you are refering to. POG just won't ship bareroot. Thanks! |

This petition is a resounding plea from concerned persons around the world seeking justice on behalf of fifteen year old Sahar Gul who was brutally tortured and mutilated by her Afghan in laws.
In 2011, fifteen year old Sahar Gul was brutally assaulted by her mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, and husband. She was forced to marry her husband when she was twelve years old and was immediately enslaved. She was imprisoned in the basement of her home for months, starved, beaten regularly, burned throughout her body, and sliced with a knife to the point that she could not walk and was wheel-barreled away to the hospital due to her relatives intervention.
Subsequently, in a secret court hearing, the perpetrators of these unprecedented acts of violence, were released by the Afghan Judiciary.
We demand the immediate transparent prosecution of the perpetrators, in a fair and open trial.
